MIXDES 2010 paper submission deadline

The deadline for the MIXDES paper registration passes in approximately in 6 weeks (Feb 28th, 2010). The most current information about the conference, regular and special sessions invited talks etc. can be found at the in the Final Call for Papers.

This year the conference will be organized in Wroclaw, one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland. It is located in southwestern Poland, 160 km from Germany and 120 km from the Czech Republic. It is well equipped with communication facilities: international airport, railways and highways, so is quite easy to get there.

As in previous years the papers should be prepared following the paper formatting requirements, however the format may be corrected till the final paper versions deadline (May 15th, 2010). The paper registration and updates should be proceeded by your personal account at the conference web page after log on.

With further questions please contact Dr. Mariusz Orlikowski, the MIXDES 2010 Conference Secretary.
